Roll cages you weld together are TOP price 299.99 ordered from Jegs . If someone is going to Charge you 600 to 700 to weld it they are truly ripping you off . I have access to a wire welder bought at ACE for less than 300.00. And wire while expensive will last a very long time . Like I said .... There is a HUGE difference between building a truck and having one built . And if you are using STOCK body panels as the rules state , there is no need to any fabrication of body parts or panels . Very simple .. Take body apart... Fenders off , Cab off frame, bed off ... Build cage on frame .... Paint cage and frame , put cab back on , put bed and fenders on , Paint body, Tape off and letter, number . Is it easy ? No . Does it take time ? Yes . Takes patience and the ability to LISTEN to others and the DESIRE to do it your self and save a bunch of money. Took me a long time to learn how to put a decent paint and lettering job on a car , and took me longer to learn to weld the RIGHT way , but it beats paying 3 times the money for a money loosing hobby LOL
Very scary conversation regarding the welding of a roll cage in a race car.
